My First crack at MVC

[kyberfabrikken]

class ProductItemController extends ProductController {
    ...
        $this->view=& new ProductItemView($this->model,$getvars['id']);
    ... 

Yeah, I think the example is basically flawed in that particular aspect.

I think the case may be that it's misleading to talk about proper MVC and improper MVC. There are different degrees of separation, and more separation isn't necessarily better.
